Second panel: Wolf by a tree looking at a man jogging. “What are you running from, apex predator”

Third panel: Wolf: “Are you chasing prey?” “You need to conserve energy”

Last panel: [second wolf peeking in] “The hell is that guy doing” [first wolf] “I don’t know. I don’t understand”

    OP: of course an animal would find a human running with neither predator nor prey to be simply ludicrous!

    Dog: I like running

        Yes. Horses, dogs/wolves and people are the three land animals that are really weird in that they aren’t necessarily apex predators, but due to circumstance or evolution we’ve somehow stepped outside the natural flow which has resulted in us having a wide potential of diet, excess time and energy to spare due to lack of serious predators (yet) and luckily enough we’ve come to be more collaborative than competitive when it counts
